Liverpool News: Jurgen Klopp says he is committed to the club despite ownership uncertainty

In Liverpool News, Jurgen Klopp has welcomed this week's announcement by Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group that the club is open to new investors.

On Monday, it was announced by Fenway Sport Group that the club was up for sale. Via the Athletic, a statement read: "There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at English Premier League clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group's ownership in Liverpool."

"FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club. FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch."

But when Derby County came to Merseyside on Wednesday, the Reds were looking for goals rather than bidders. Fortunately, Jurgen Klopp 's men made it through following a nervy 0-0 draw after 90 minutes, thanks to a penalty shoot-out victory and the brilliance of Caoimhin Kelleher.

Sky News reports Liverpool's American owners have asked Goldmann Sachs and Morgan Stanley to gauge buyer interest and the banks are expected to sound out whether some of the shortlisted bidders who missed out on buying Chelsea are interested in investing in the Merseyside club.

"Everyone said he wants to sell the club, what I read is we're looking for investors. That makes sense, I like that!" said Klopp after Liverpool's Carabao Cup victory over Derby County.

"For me, it means nothing. Whatever happens - I really like how I work together with our owners - but if that would change, I'm committed to the club.

"As far as I know, we're looking for investors and I thought that makes sense. For me, while this process is happening, it's important that we just keep going and planning.

Klopp refused to be drawn on whether FSG want to sell Liverpool, but did reaffirm his commitment to the club no matter what changes may happen in the ownership hierarchy.

"These things take time and I'm not an expert on this but whenever it will happen and someone comes in or whatever, things can happen a lot of things in that time. Not just football time, in between as well.

"In the moment, nothing has happened. It's just news, nobody got a heart attack when we saw it. We knew. It's a decision, that's fine. We work together really well with FSG. It's a good relationship, nothing will change ."
